Gettin’ Loose And It Scares Me…

My pants…my pants are getting loose, what did you think I meant? :)

I’ve noticed in the last week I’m getting baggy butt syndrome. My pants are getting loose, almost to the point of uncomfortable. I keep being amazed, as I pull my pants up and begin to go into the wiggle and pull routine, when I realize there is no need to wiggle…they pulled right up…there is no need to suck it in to zip because the zipper comes right together and slides up smooth…no pulling.

I will soon be moving down to the next size. I have gone through this before. It always felt good to go to the next size DOWN…from baggy to a little snug…then those become baggy and onto the next size down. This is also part of what scares me…I’m afraid of failing again. How can something that feels so good be let go of, only to regain the weight and be miserable? I’ve questioned myself before…wondering do I secretly enjoy being miserable. I hope not. I think I will wait another 5 pounds before I try on the next size.

    How absolutely wonderful. A smaller size is always a treat and can be scarey. You begin to wonder if you Can keep up the results. I believe you can. Your hard work is paying off in loose fitting clothes. Yiipee!
    I’m so glad you were able to hang out with your parents on saturday and enjoy yourself. Being able to communicate with them, I know was a sigh of relief and maded you feel better.
    You keep up the good work. I’m very proud of YOU!

    You hang in there and whatever you do—DON”T give up. You are doing an AWESOME job and you are inspiring to so many people. You hang in there. Congrats on the weight loss. I am not to the next size in skirts yet (only because mine are so stretchy—hehe), but I am able to put on some capris that I haven’t fit into in some time now. WAY TO GO!!!!

    Hugs,

    That is awesome! :D I know what you mean about being afraid…I have so often felt the same thing. We just have to keep focusing on the good though, and refuse to let those pounds back on again! Keep telling ourselves, like it’s a mantra, “This time it is for keeps!”. Keep up the GREAT work! :D

    Good For you !!!! I wish I had that problem , the only reason my pants get loose is because my belly pushes them down *LOL* But I’m working on fixing that . Good Luck on the next 5 lbs

    Congrats!! I can’t wait to be where you’re at right now…I have been my current size for almost three years now and honestly, I want out already!! BTW, did you read my blog from yesterday? Reading your blog reminded me of the homework my coach left me—to answer the following question: WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES TO BEING OVERWEIGHT?? Deep down in our subconscious we hold on to our weight because it’s giving us a payoff!! It’s true–crazy concept, but true nonetheless!! ANYWHO…..I’m glad you’re going down a size—how much have you lost so far?
